Highly Cited Researchers 2019

The Highly Cited Researchers list from the Web of Science Group identifies scientists and social scientists who have demonstrated significant influence through publication of multiple highly cited papers ranked in the top 1% in their field during the last decade.

This year four BioSciences academics have been acknowledged as Highly Cited Researches – Professor Ary Hoffmann, Professor Jane Elith, Associate Professor Michael Kearney and Dr Nick Golding.

The data is taken from 21 broad research fields within Essential Science Indicators, a component of InCites. The fields are defined by sets of journals and exceptionally, in the case of multidisciplinary journals such as Nature and Science, by a paper-by-paper assignment to a field based on an analysis of the cited references in the papers. This percentile-based selection method removes the citation advantage of older papers relative to recently published ones, since papers are weighed against others in the same annual cohort.
